If we plug this AI into robotics, to automate the procurement and delivery of power, your argument goes away

I cant believe I have to respond to this nonsense but let me entertain your ridiculousness for a bit.

Do you think AI is capable of building ASML machines which produce the chips for AI in clean rooms while shipping the pure helium required to operate those clean rooms? Do you even know anything about these supply chains? I do.

Do you think a glorified knowledge base that can predict text very well is anywhere near close this level of intelligence? ITs not and wont be, not for a 100 years, not for 200 years if not ever.

Take a deep breath, go out side, its going to be ok. Humanity is not going to die from a glorified text predictor.
